Mechanical Engineering Expert (AI Training)
About The Role
We're looking for mechanical engineering specialists to help train and improve cutting-edge AI models. Your technical expertise will directly shape how AI understands and reasons through complex engineering problems — from fluid dynamics and thermodynamics to structural mechanics and beyond.
This is a rare opportunity to apply your advanced engineering knowledge in a high-impact, flexible freelance role — no prior AI experience needed.
Organization: Alignerr
Type: Hourly Contract
Location: Remote
Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
Design Complex Engineering Problems — Craft advanced, multi-step problems across domains such as FEA (Finite Element Analysis), heat transfer, fluid mechanics, kinematics, and material science to rigorously test AI performance
Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Develop precise, step-by-step technical solutions and benchmark responses that AI systems use as reference standards for learning
Audit Technical Reasoning — Evaluate AI-generated outputs including CAD logic, thermodynamic proofs, and material specifications for technical accuracy, safety, and compliance with engineering standards (e.g., ASME, ISO)
Identify & Correct Reasoning Failures — Spot logical errors in AI reasoning — such as incorrect force distributions, energy conservation violations, or flawed material assumptions — and provide structured feedback to improve model performance
Who You Are
Holds or is pursuing a Master's or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related field
Strong foundational knowledge in one or more core domains: solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, CAD/CAM, or manufacturing processes
Able to communicate complex physical phenomena and mathematical derivations clearly and concisely in writing
Highly detail-oriented — precise when checking mathematical derivations, unit conversions, and physical system constraints
No prior AI or data annotation experience required
Nice to Have
Prior experience with data annotation, quality evaluation, or technical content development
Proficiency with engineering software such as SolidWorks, MATLAB, or ANSYS
Experience reviewing or generating technical documentation to industry standards
Why Join Us
Work on some of the most technically demanding AI projects in the industry alongside top research labs
Fully remote and flexible — structure your work around your schedule
Freelance autonomy: choose your hours, work independently, and collaborate globally
Make a meaningful contribution to how AI reasons about the physical world
Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as projects evolve
Work arrangement
